Paneer Lababdaar

"Banana Kofta is a delicious and wholesome Indian dish made with raw bananas (plantains), mashed and mixed with spices, herbs, and sometimes paneer or potatoes to form soft, flavorful dumplings. These koftas are lightly fried until golden and then simmered in a rich, aromatic tomato-onion or yogurt-based curry. The raw banana lends a mildly sweet, starchy taste and a unique texture to the koftas, making this dish a delightful alternative to the more common vegetable or paneer koftas. The gravy is seasoned with traditional spices like cumin, coriander, turmeric, and garam masala, and can be made creamy or light, depending on regional style. Banana Kofta is a nutritious and satisfying vegetarian option, often enjoyed with chapati, naan, or jeera rice. It’s a perfect choice for festive meals or when you want something comforting and special with a twist of South Indian or North Indian flavor."

"Kadhi Pakoda is a classic North Indian comfort dish made from a tangy yogurt and gram flour (besan) base, slow-cooked with aromatic spices and tempered with curry leaves, mustard seeds, and dried red chilies. The rich, creamy kadhi is gently simmered to develop a slightly sour and savory flavor that’s both soothing and satisfying. What makes Kadhi Pakoda special are the soft, fluffy pakoras — deep-fried fritters made from spiced gram flour batter with onions or spinach — which are soaked in the warm kadhi, absorbing its rich flavors. Served hot with steamed rice or jeera rice, this dish is a staple in Indian households, especially in Punjabi, Rajasthani, and Gujarati cuisine. Kadhi Pakoda offers a comforting blend of textures and tastes — creamy, tangy, and lightly spiced — making it a soulful vegetarian favorite."

"Dum Aloo is a classic Indian dish made with baby potatoes cooked slowly in a rich, aromatic gravy that bursts with flavor. Originating from Kashmir and also popular in Punjabi cuisine, this dish gets its name from the traditional ""dum"" (slow-cooking) method, which allows the spices to deeply infuse the potatoes. The potatoes are either fried or boiled and then simmered in a creamy, tangy tomato-onion-yogurt base seasoned with cumin, ginger, garlic, fennel, and a blend of regional spices like garam masala and Kashmiri red chili powder. The result is a bold, comforting curry with a slightly spicy and subtly sweet taste. Dum Aloo pairs beautifully with naan, puri, roti, or basmati rice, making it a favorite at festive meals and special occasions. Whether prepared in a rich Punjabi style or a lighter Kashmiri version, this dish delivers warmth, depth, and satisfaction in every bite."
